Nursing Suite Unveiled at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium
Sunday, September 3, 2017 | Football
The stadium’s latest upgrade is an exclusive space for nursing mothers.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Starting with Florida's game against Northern Colorado on Saturday, nursing mothers will have an exclusive space inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to tend to their children in privacy.
The new Nursing Suite is located behind between Gates 15 and 16, and is a female-only space for nursing mothers or women bottle-feeding children.
Men, affiliated with a nursing woman, or who need to bottle-feed a child, are permitted in the lobby of the suite, where there will be chairs available for them.
The suite will be staffed with an attendant from the UF Pharmacy School or a Gator Guest Services Game Day Ambassador at all times.
Parents can access the Nursing Suite 90 minutes prior to kickoff, in line with regular stadium entry, and the suite will close 20 minutes after the conclusion of a game. Guests still actively utilizing the space are welcomed to stay until finished.
Attendees can store express/pumped milk in a refrigerator conveniently located inside the suite. All stored milk must be labeled with the individual's first and last name, with a phone number than can be reached on game day.
Game day storage for a 'pump bag' will also be available for patrons. These bags will be held behind the reception desk, but will not be in locked spaces.
All stored items must be picked up 20 minutes after the conclusion of the game. The UAA is not responsible for any milk left inside the Nursing Suite refrigerator once the suite is closed to the public.
Other amenities in the Nursing Suite include:
- A playing area for young children in attendance with a parent
- Televisions will be mounted so attendees don't miss any of the game while utilizing the suite
- Changing table
- Complimentary ice water in plastic cups
Nursing mothers are still welcome to nurse their child in any public space inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, but can visit the Nursing Suite or any First Aid Room for a more private location.
As a reminder, strollers and diaper bags remain as restricted items inside the stadium at all times on game day.
